If my math and my assumptions are correct, the M-Sport option for the 335i will cost $1500 more than the Sport Line -- $3200 for the M-Sport package, less the cost of the Sport Line over the base of $1700. Anybody have any other thoughts?

So if the M Performance brakes are around $2300 retail then I'am guessing the M sport will be between $1600-1900 to add onto the M sport?

if thats tru, its a f*ckin rip off. all Msport brakes are is some color, a fixed pot in the rear and bigger rotors all around. i was thinking $1k. but ur prolly right, BMW will jack it up cause they know someone will pay. so ridiculous.

If you look at it as a standalone, it seems rather expensive. If you were going to get the Sport Line anyways, then an extra $1350(for 328i) for a full bodykit, M steering wheel, staggered wheels w/summer tires, and ability to get the best color on offer(Estoril Blue), then it's quite fair.

Damn! You read my mind exactly!

I'm checking the M Sport box with no hesitation. I was going to buy it when I thought it was ON TOP of the Sport line.

I wonder if the electric motor for the active hybrid is located inside the automatic transmission in lieu of the torque converter. This is an option on that transmission. I believe it would make more sense to offer it as a light hybrid with a much shorter electric range of say one tenth of a mile. That captures most of the efficiency of braking regeneration while eliminating a large, heavy and costly battery.
